I loved these boots when they arrived. Cute and lightweight. Unfortunately I had to return them. I bought a size up and they were still too small. I am a size 10, got and 11 but my toes hit the end when I walked in them. This was the largest size. I couldn't find another pair of boots like this in my size.

These didn't work for me so I returned them. A bigger size may have worked but I didn't like them enough to do that with an online purchase.

They are warm and they fit as described. I'll keep these since it's hard to find flexible soled boots that don't rub me wrong or make my toes numb from being too tight with thick socks. However, I probably should have paid more attention to make sure they were compatible with gaiters. They aren't; they don't work with gaiters. No hooks or place for a strap to sit securely under the instep. Sometimes the snow is just way higher than these little 5in sides can handle and I was looking for a versatile boot. They are fine for running around town and walking in a little snow but aren't going to cut it for hiking or cutting through drifts on snowy days without the gaiter option.

These boots were great. Warm. Water proof. Then after some wear I noticed there is zero arch support and it causes me serious hip and back pain to wear for long walks. For the price this is very disappointing.

Super discouraged with these boots. I bought a similar pair years ago. Super comfortable. I would wear them all day like slippers. But unfortunately they did not and these do not keep the water out like they claim. I find my toes are wet all the time. Ive only had them for 2 months and was hoping with the sturdier waterproof fabric that they would in fact be waterproof but they are not.

I bought these over a month ago. They're a little snug but fit and they are very comfortable. I love walking my dog in them. They do keep your fee warm. The only issue I have with them, they are wet after I come inside. I don't find these waterproof. I'm only out in the snow for 20-30 mins. When I put them on again they are a little wet.

I've had these boots for over a month now and I mostly love them! They are comfortable, warm, waterproof, and I sized up so I can wear any socks with them. My issue is that with the fur around the top, the boot doesn't seal around my leg so on really snowy days I kick snow down the top of my boot. For short walks with my dog it will work but if I was wearing them all day in deep snow it would be very cold and uncomfortable. I've tried to tie the laces as tight as possible but I can't avoid it.

I was looking for a winter hiking boot and although I liked these, they aren't sturdy enough for hiking. The fit and feel is slipper like with a very flexible sole. I am returning these and will try something else.

One of the boots is tighter than the other and a bit uncomfortable to wear. The other one is perfect. This is just my experience, but great boot nontheless.

Took about 6 weeks to arrive and then they are too small and very tight around the toes. Very disappointed.

Though I really liked the style and color of these boots, they were not a fit for me. Too narrow in the toe box and too little support.

I love the look of these boots but my toes are pressed down on by the fabric :( If there isn't a roomy enough toe area my toes will be cold so I am returning these boots.

Ordered 1/2 larger because my feet are a little wide. Still to small in width. Another size up would be uncomfortably long.

Bought for daughter's Christmas present but it arrived late. Unfortunately size 10 was more like a 9 and they were very narrow. Returning and trying a pair of Keens.

I really wanted to like these. I was looking for a pair of waterproof winter shoes/sneakers to slosh through winter walks with and without our dog. Loved the color (I got the purplish burgundy). But they felt a little tight and did not offer much in arch support. They were just OK and for $100 I’d prefer them to be better than that.

These are great looking boots and very well-made, but they were a bit too narrow for me. I usually wear a 11.5M, I ordered the 12M. They are just too tight on my foot.

I like these boots because they are sleek, and not clunky. However, they are truly not waterproof, and no traction on the bottom. Very slippery.

These were nice looking boots that were well made. The toe area felt narrow. The heel fit well. I usually wear an 11 in shoes and 11 1/2 in sneakers. I got a 12 in these and they were on the small size. They don't have much arch support and could use more cushioning. Un fortunately my search for boots continues.

I am going to return these because they are too small across my foot. I tried walking around in them in my house and it was squeezing my foot. I tried to loosen the strings but it still did not help.

Wish I could rate better but I'm rating on actually opening box, trying them on, and realizing that even though I ordered half a sizer bigger than my average, the shoes were too small. My toes touched the very tip. Not much cushion but it would have been nice.

These asthetically looked great, loved the green color and the fur lining was cute. Unfortunately they run so small that I wasn't even able to get them on. I'd say they run more than a full-size too small. I can often wear 11 or and 11.5, so these are not a true size 12.

I chose this boot for a trip to a place with temperatures below -35 C. The truth is that they are very comfortable, but the cushioning isn't the best for the protection against the cold, even at -20 C (when in theory, should hold up to -32 C). Out of that, I love the model.

These boots are really nice to look at, but unfortunately, they run way too narrow-even for a normal sized foot. Someone with a wide foot would never be able to get these on.

The description is incorrect and they aren't suede. These are all textile and a great vegan snow boot option for those with narrow feet. The length of the shoe runs true to size, but the reason they feel small is because they're so narrow. I normally wear a 7.5/8 but ordered a size 8 and 8.5 due to the reviews. The size 8 fits the length perfectly, but is uncomfortably tight around the top of my foot. Forget about wearing thick socks. These shoes are for thin socks only. And the 8.5 is just way too long but fits the width. I'm keeping the 8 and hoping they stretch.

I love how these boots feel and look. They are very comfortable. They do not feel very warm and I didn't feel like the tread was enough to prevent a fall.
I'm glad I got a 1/2 size larger so I can wear thick socks.
